Furniture Care Guide

Proper care helps furniture remain stable, clean and functional over time. This guide provides practical maintenance advice based on how different types of furniture are commonly used, with a focus on everyday handling rather than special treatments.

1. General Care Principles

Regardless of location or category, a few basic habits can significantly extend the lifespan of furniture.

• Clean surfaces regularly to prevent dust and dirt from building up
• Avoid placing furniture in direct contact with strong heat sources
• Wipe spills promptly using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
• Check fittings and connections periodically to ensure stability

2. Display Cabinets

Display cabinets are often used daily and benefit from consistent, gentle care.

• Use a soft cloth for regular dusting to protect surface finishes
• Clean glass panels with a mild glass cleaner and avoid abrasive tools
• Do not overload shelves to reduce stress on structural components
• Place items evenly to maintain balance and prevent warping over time

If the furniture is positioned near windows, occasional adjustment can help minimise uneven exposure to sunlight.

3. Garden Sheds

Garden sheds are designed for outdoor storage and should be maintained with environmental exposure in mind.

• Position the shed on a level surface to ensure proper alignment
• Keep ventilation openings clear to reduce moisture build-up
• Inspect the structure periodically for signs of wear or weather impact
• Remove debris such as leaves or soil from contact points

Storing items in an organised manner helps maintain airflow and reduces unnecessary pressure on walls or doors.

4. Outdoor Sofa Sets

Outdoor sofa sets are intended for open-air use but benefit from routine care to maintain comfort and appearance.

• Clean frames and surfaces regularly to remove dust and outdoor residue
• Use mild soap and water for cleaning, then allow to dry fully
• Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water where possible
• Store cushions in a dry place when not in use for extended periods

During periods of non-use, covering the furniture can help reduce exposure to environmental elements.

5. Seasonal Care and Storage

Changes in weather and temperature can affect furniture performance. Seasonal checks are recommended.

• Inspect outdoor furniture before and after colder seasons
• Ensure all components are clean and dry before long-term storage
• Re-tighten fittings where necessary after temperature changes

6. Final Notes

Regular, simple care is often more effective than occasional intensive cleaning. By maintaining furniture in line with its intended use and environment, you can help ensure consistent performance and appearance over time.
